ABSTRACT
Reading comprehension plays a vital role in English learning, especially for the students in senior high schools. However, the traditional English reading class is dominated by the teacher and students are encouraged to follow the teacher’s footsteps , In consequence, most of the students cannot improve their English reading proficiency as required in The English Curriculum. Cooperative Learning emphasizes the importance of education as a process for students to learn cooperatively in a relaxing and harmonious environment. In a cooperative learning class, the teacher is not the only resource of knowledge and the students should communicate and discuss with each other for knowledge acquisition. In this study, an experiment is made to investigate the effects of cooperative learning on English reading. The subjects in the experiment are the Grade one students from two classes of Zhenjiang No.1 Middle School. The experimental class is asked to make use of the Cooperative Learning method, while the control class was still be taught by the traditional reading strategies. Analysis of the data from questionnaires and some students interviews shows that Cooperative Learning can promote senior students’ reading ability and it can be applied to English reading teaching in senior high schools.
